I saw Star Wars at least 8 times   Had the pac-man pattern memorized   And I've seen the stuff they put inside   Stretch Armstrong      I was Roger Stauback back in my back yard   Had a shoebox full of baseball cards   And a couple of Evil Kinevil scars   On my right arm   Well, I was a kid when Elvis died   And my mama cried      Chorus:   It was 1970- something   In the world that I grew up in   Farrah Faucett hair-do days   Bell bottoms and 8-track tapes   Lookin' back now I can see me   And oh, man did I look cheesy   But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'   It was 1970-something      It was the dawning of a new decade   When we got our first microwave   And Dad broke down and finally shaved    Those sideburns off   I took the stickers off of my Rubix cube   Watched MTV all afternoon   My first love was Daisy Duke    In them cut off jeans   A Space Shuttle fell out of the sky   And the whole world cried      Chorus:   It was 1980-something   In the world that I grew up in   Skating rinks and Black Trans Ams   Big hair and parachute pants   Lookin' back now I can see me   And oh, man did I look cheesy   But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'   It was 1980-something      Now I got a mortgage and an SUV   But all this responsibility   Makes me wish sometimes   Sometimes....      chorus:   It was 1980-something   In the world that I grew up in   Skating rinks and Black Trans Ams   Big hair and parachute pants   Lookin' back now I can see me   And oh, man did I look cheesy   But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'   It was 1980-something      1970-something   Aw, it was 19-Something
